The painting hangs alongside a portrait of Charles’ younger brother, Henry Benedict Stuart, that was painted around the same time by Blanchet.

The two works are included in a dozen items from the Royal Collection that will loaned by the palace to the Chambers Street museum for the summer show.

Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites will be the largest exhibition on the Jacobites in over 70 years, with over 300 objects on show combining National Museums Scotland’s collection with material on loan from around the UK and Europe.
